From my receiver to both my amps I use RG6/U Heavy shielded RCA cables from Monoprice

The first one is what I have & they work vary well . Mine are only 3 feet long because my gear is stacked in A stand .

thanks crazy - mesa likey your picture

I wanted emotivas but the cost to get em to me in canada would be crazy

ended up going with a couple of used carvers

quick question:

I have a couple of monster (i know i know) rca cables that i can connect to each other via this

will this impact my sound?

also can i use component cables to send the audio ?

I don't think the 2 female adapter will hurt anything !
as far as the component cables I think it would work ~ I have never done it . I would Use RCA cables if it were me !

BTW Thank You Cpus

There will be an effect (more junctions), but it is likely to be very small, probably unnoticable.

also can i use component cables to send the audio ?

If you mean can you connect two of those cables from the L & R outputs (usually red and white) of your source to the L & R inputs of your amp, then yes you can (and you'll have a "spare" cable left over). Probably not ideal. But if you mean can you transfer sound while hooked up in component mode using those cables, then nope, you're outta luck. :-)

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't component cables work?

I answered the question as I thought he wanted to know if Componant Video cables carried AUDIO when properly connected, which they do not. You can however, like Richteer mentioned, easily substitute COMPONANT for regular RCA cables for use in an audio connection. You'd be left with one cable dangling loose somewhere though, not something I'd want to incorporate myself.

Oh, I see. I thought it would have had something to do with the wiring itself, not whether the audio was carried by the component cables. Fair enough, I just mis-understood the question.

Apparently I did too!
